I searched the docs and issues in Github but can't find an answer.

Is it possible to load a PDF from local disk? pathFile.nativePath points to a PDF that is being loaded but not displayed it seems.

I use

webView = new WebViewANE; var settings:Settings = new Settings; settings.webkit.plugInsEnabled = true; var thisL:Point = new Point(0,0); var thisG:Point = localToGlobal(thisL); var webViewViewport:Rectangle = new Rectangle(thisG.x + 10, thisG.y + 10, this.width - 45, this.height - 20); webView.init(stage, webViewViewport, "", null, 1, 0xFFFFFF, true); webView.loadFileURL(pathFile.nativePath, File.applicationStorageDirectory.nativePath);

Is this not supported or am I using it wrong?

• What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

A PDF to be displayed, I'm not seeing the PDF

• Please provide any additional information below.

  • A stack trace if available, any Exception information.Screengrabs.

• Does this problem also occur in the WebViewANE Sample Application provided?

Not relevant

It is possible. It should be loaded from applicationDirectory or applicationStorageDirectory (whichever allowingReadAccessTo param is set to). Here I've loaded the air release notes from a local fie.

Do you have Acrobat DC installed? For me it is not working if I do it like this:

`webView = new WebViewANE;

var settings:Settings = new Settings;

                var thisL:Point = new Point(0,0);

                var thisG:Point = localToGlobal(thisL);

                var webViewViewport:Rectangle = new Rectangle(thisG.x + 10, thisG.y + 10, this.width - 45, this.height - 20);

                webView.init(stage, webViewViewport, "", null, 1, 0xFFFFFF, true);

                webView.loadFileURL(pathFile.nativePath, File.applicationStorageDirectory.nativePath);`

I found a workaround by upgrading to 1.6.5 and then using PDF.js viewer together with https://github.com/tuarua/WebViewANE/issues/150

So I have a solution but unclear why the code is not working directly to the PDF.
